Fightstar is made up of Alex Westaway on vocals and guitar,
Charlie Simpson also on vocals and guitar, Dan Haigh on
bass guitar and Omar Abidi on drums. They formed in 2003
when Charlie was in the band Busted. In early 2005, Charlie
broke away from Busted to focus on his career with
Fightstar, an edgier, rockier band, which was always where
Charlie's heart had lied. Fightstar have released an EP, a
single called Palahnuiks Laughter which is also known as
Out Swimming in the Flood, which they changed the name of
because of the tsunami in Indonesia, and their new song
Paint Your Target, which went in at number 9 in june. More...

------ About the song A Call To Arms performed by Fightstar

pure heartfelt excellence | Reviewer: gnomi
------ About the song Follow Me Into The Darkness performed by Fightstar
i think that in terms of musical context, this song is somewhat limited, however in some ways that is what makes it work. it's good simple music, with a very powerful effect.
the lyrics, fit the feel of the song to perfection, and i feel that they tell such a beautiful and poetic story of someones thoughts and feelings. a song or pure emotion, i highly commend the artist(s) for writing these. they are incredible.
I find this track, as nearly all other Fightstar tracks, ridiculous(in a good way) and exceptional. I wish to know, if anyone has an idea, who the narrator is. It seems far too interesting to not persue... and as usual, aol search, ask.com and google seem to fail with even the most specific of searches... Thank you, RB
Amazing | Reviewer: Esme
------ About the song Hazy Eyed performed by Fightstar
This song is so amazing. I can relate to it so well because it talks of not letting anyone else drag you down and pushing through it all. The song lyrics are so intense and I feel like I can say, 'I don't need you' to people who try and tell me otherwise.
Amazing | Reviewer: Miss_headstrong
------ About the song We Apologise For Nothing performed by Fightstar
I love this song. It's about standing up for what you believe in and never backing down. Anyone that thinks they could never make a difference should listen to this because it's all about taking a risk. Fightstar is truly genius!
i had a few doubts about the band but I know Charlie's real passion most definitely lies away from Busted. In 'We Apologise For Nothing,' and 'Palahnuiks's Laughter,' they have made two amazing songs. This however, is my favourite.

Best Song Ever | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Deathcar performed by Fightstar
This is the best song that I have ever heard, it really demonstrates Charlie's wide vocal talent. The guitars are so brutal and this is exactly how Fightstar should sound
So sad | Reviewer: Gordie
------ About the song Carry Her performed by Fightstar
This song makes me feel as though my heart is breaking every time i listen to it. it always reminds me of how sore it was to lose my gran. I feel closer to my gran when i listen to this song.

Wicked song! | Reviewer: Victoria
------ About the song Paint Your Target performed by Fightstar
I love Fightstar, but I'm sorry to say that I love Busted more....I didn't like that Charlie left, but I respect his decision and I hate that people are hating on him just because he felt that he needed to go to another band.....And besides, James got with Son Of Dork, so it's all good, as for Matt....I dunno.....

------ About the song Sleep Well Tonight performed by Fightstar
another one! another great song by Fightstar!! there just the bomb! everyone you need to buy there album! they need everyones support!
omg this song is like ace!!! paint your target is even better!! if you like this song! god i best hope your listern to there album... download it! buy it! t doesent matter! you'l be differnt after!!
Forget Busted - I was never a fan of them, so again, forget them forever - Fightstar are in a different league, a different sport even. I thank Fightstar for producing what is arguably the best music I have ever heard and I doubt I'll ever hear a more accomplished set of pieces of music in my lifetime (unless it's by them) - every song delivers on every level. All I ask of anyone who likes this kind of guitar-based sound is to listen and, frankly, be amazed. I just hope they continue to do what they're doing for as long as possible. And Omar, you're a legend!
Just to add, I was at Download last summer and Fightstar filled the massive marquee - yeah sure there were clowns in there who didn't think Fightstar deserved to be at the festival but who are they to judge - they really need to open their minds and appreciate the fact that new and better performers come along avery day - and respect to what Charlie said at the gig.
